Volunteer

We love our volunteers and there's always room for you at the Y!

Our volunteers serve as coaches, teach classes, lend a hand at family fun night, keep a watchful eye over children in our nursery, assist with event registration and more.  If you've been looking for a worthy cause to support, we may have the right opportunity for you. 

Here are just some of the ways you could be involved:

Festival Worker - Fun and games are had at the YMCA in both the winter and fall festivals.  Help make these free community events a huge success and fun at the same time.

Lobby Greeter - Be our friendly face!  Greet members as they enter the facility and direct persons who need assistance or information.

Team Coaches - Would you enjoy sharing your love of the game while teaching youngsters skills and values?  Our coaches do exactly that.  Volunteers are needed every season.

Soccer Referees - Would you enjoy sharing your love of the game while teaching youngsters fair play and values?  Our referees do exactly that.  Referees are needed every season.

Youth Activities Supervisor - Afternoons keep us hopping at the Y.  Help us out by supervising youth activities here on-site.  Fun activities include board games, Nintendo and movies.

After-School Program Aide - Have fun with kids aged 5-8 at our afterschool programs at Chatham, Rochester or Riverton Elementary Schools.  Our Group Leaders can always use an extra hand or two!

Bowling Aide - Engage in a feel-good activity that really helps the participants of our Adapted Physical Education Program.  Volunteers retrieve balls and keep score for persons who are blind.

Athletic Field Manager - Our fields need a lot of care to keep them in play-ready condition.  We can use volunteers anytime from spring through fall.

Swim Instructor Aide - With so many little fish in our classes, our instructors can sometimes use a couple extra hands.  If you like being in the water and enjoy helping kids learn new skills, this could be the perfect volunteer spot for you.

Phone Receptionist - Everyone likes to be greeted with a friendly voice.  Help callers find the information they're looking for by assisting our Front Desk Attendant with the many calls that come into our center.

Laundry Services - We have towels galore!  Volunteers help our Health Center Attendant with the washing, drying, folding and delivery of laundry.

Clerical Assistant - Assist a pool of secretaries and administrators with general clerical tasks, such as, copying, filing, folding, data entry and laminating.

Group Leader Aide - Keep things fun aftershool at our school age centers in Chatham, Rochester or Riverton elementary schools.  Assist after school group leaders with activities for children ages 5-12.

Member Retention Associate - We love our members and need help showing them how important they are to us.  

Member Communication Associate - Calling all you creative ones!  Develop themes and maintain bulletin boards throughout the facility.

Photographer - Help us capture all the great things happening at the YMCA!  Obtain photo permissions and take photographs for use in YMCA promotional materials.
